Serena Brotherton has a tremendous record in this contest so COSMEAPOLITAN will likely prove popular after finishing fourth in a higher grade handicap at Goodwood last time. Joanna Mason gets her fair share of winners and she has a shout on recent Kempton runner-up Soul Intent while Onorina won one of these events over a longer trip here last month. Miss Minuty posted a better effort when placed at Bath last time and is another to consider.
